Eternal Life as False Emperor-Chapter 109 - 78: Bombarding Pseudo-Yan (Part 2)

The entire Imperial Sword Manor, more than three thousand martial artists, was completely annihilated in one night.

Even half of the Imperial Sword Manor was blown into flat ground!

After that battle, Chen Wannian deeply understood the terrifying nature of the Thunderbolt.

Unfortunately, later on, he was transferred out of the Divine Strategy Camp and became the Commander of the Imperial Guard with greater power.

However, he still had lingering fears about the strength of the Divine Strategy Camp.

Especially this time when setting out, he saw that there were more than five hundred people in the logistics team behind the Divine Strategy Camp, and more than five hundred carts transporting supplies, he knew that the camp had acquired weapons even more terrifying than the Thunderbolt.

"Thunderbolt?"

"Immortal Treasure?"

"How could it be..."

Chen Wannian shook his head and said, "Just wait, you’ll find out soon."

"Remember to watch the cavalry horses carefully, and under no circumstances let them be frightened!"

Although his deputy was puzzled, he still replied in unison, "Yes!"

Time passed quickly, and before long everyone felt the ground beneath their feet vibrating.

A scout climbed a tree to gaze towards the northeast and quickly shouted, "The Pseudo-Yan cavalry is coming!"

Soon, where many soldiers could see, teams of cavalry dressed in profound armor appeared.

Flags of the Pseudo-Yan army flapped in the wind.

Leading them was none other than the first Commander-in-Chief of Yan Land, a Grandmaster Realm expert, Cheng De!

"Here they come!"

Chen Wannian immediately recognized the appearance of the Pseudo-Yan cavalry and immediately said, "Pass down the order, everyone hide!"

"Without my command, no one is to make a sound."

"Yes!"

With the order passed down, the Imperial Guard under Chen Wannian’s command immediately retreated and hid within the forests of the mountains.

"Rumble..."

"RUMBLE~!!"

Soon, the earth’s vibrations became more pronounced.

Teams of Pseudo-Yan Dragon Cavalry passed through the land below their mountain, kicking up clouds of dust and shaking the earth.

Perhaps to save time or because they overestimated the strength of their cavalry, Cheng De only sent a small team of scouts ahead to investigate.

Those scouts failed to discover Chen Wannian and others hidden within the peaks on either side, and passed through their ambush site one by one.

Among the Imperial Guard, there were quite a few new recruits, filled with fear from the vibrations they heard from the earth.

Someone cautiously lifted their head to take a peek, only to see waves of Dragon Cavalry surging forward like a tide.

These cavalrymen had solemn expressions, and their eyes were filled with a fighting spirit that suggested they were seasoned warriors.

Many, upon witnessing such a formidable force, felt even more fear in their hearts.

Could their group of new recruits, who had barely trained for a few months, really defeat such a powerful military force?

After a full stick of incense time, more than twenty thousand Pseudo-Yan cavalrymen finally passed entirely from beneath them, leaving behind a land of dust.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief, the glow in their eyes like the light of a second chance at life.

"Have they all passed?"

"What do we do now?"

"General? Should we still wait?"

"Continue to wait!"

Chen Wannian stood up straight and looked in the direction the Pseudo-Yan cavalry had gone.

With his eyesight, he could only see a black dragon sweeping into the distance.

At that moment, a deep and explosive rumble suddenly burst in his ears from afar.

"Boom~!"

Then, continuous explosions rapidly followed from the distance.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM...!"

The originally galloping formation of Pseudo-Yan Dragon Cavalry suddenly became chaotic, especially the ones at the forefront; many instinctively jerked the reins of the Dragon Horses, causing them to leap high.

The next moment.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM...!!!!!!!!!"

Amidst the neat ranks of Pseudo-Yan Dragon Cavalry, hundreds of massive explosions and roars surged up immediately.

Teams of Pseudo-Yan Dragon Cavalry, men and horses together, were blasted into the air, blood and viscera, shattered limbs and wreckage flying everywhere.

"Neigh~!!!"

Countless Dragon Horses, having never heard such explosive sounds before, shrieked and reared up, throwing their riders to the ground, then ran aimlessly in all directions.

The previously orderly Pseudo-Yan cavalry formation immediately descended into utter chaos.

Some cavalry galloped without direction, while others lay on the ground shouting loudly.

The first batch of cannonballs fired by the Red Coat Cannon only numbered two hundred, and the lethality was not strong.

The casualties might have been only seven or eight hundred people.

But this battle method, unheard of and unseen before, was still their first encounter.

Especially the Dragon Horses underneath them, hearing such violent explosions for the first time, as well as the cannonballs constantly bursting before them.

Many Dragon Horses, being startled, made the entire formation restless.

"Maintain formation!"

"Quickly, maintain formation!"

"Seventh squad! Kill the horses, stop them!"

Cheng De, worthy of a battle-hardened General, swiftly found a way to respond even in such an environment.

That was to kill the war horses that had been startled, stabilize the formation, and still retain combat power.

But, awaiting him, was the second wave of Red Coat Cannon bombardment.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM...!!!!!!!!!"

The same explosive sounds rang again in their ears and in front of them.

The first bombardment also had the effect of calibrating the position.

The second bombardment had already pinpointed accuracy, with two hundred shells falling steadily in the center of the Pseudo-Yan Dragon Cavalry’s ranks, blasting them to pieces, the center blossoming.

Once again, a large batch of shattered limbs mixed with blood scattered and flew.

This time, the battle-hardened Pseudo-Yan Dragon Cavalry finally could not hold on.

They could accept a life-and-death struggle with the enemy and even a desperate fight with foes that outnumbered them.

But they definitely could not endure such an environment where they couldn’t see the enemy and were being inexplicably blasted to death.

In ancient armies, most would collapse when casualties reached thirty percent.

And the situation faced by the Pseudo-Yan Dragon Cavalry today was even more dire.

"Celestial Thunder! It’s Celestial Thunder!"

"Duke Lei is angry, retreat! Retreat quickly!"

"My leg! My leg, pull me out quickly... Ah!"

The entire formation of Pseudo-Yan Dragon Cavalry finally devolved into chaos.

Even Cheng De and his personal soldiers, despite taking action themselves, could not suppress it.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM...!!!"

In the blink of an eye, a third wave of shells fell again, killing hundreds more Pseudo-Yan Dragon Cavalry.

This time, the entire Pseudo-Yan Dragon Cavalry finally collapsed.

Countless war horses scattered and fled in the successive bombardments.

And the Dragon Cavalry at the very back of the formation, even more, turned and ran, fleeing the battlefield in panic and fear.

The entire land was left in shambles.

Just when they thought they had escaped, a cold shout suddenly came from the peaks on both sides.

"Fire!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~!"

The next moment, a rain of arrows descended from the sky, once again knocking many of the frantically escaping Dragon Cavalry to the ground.

After three waves of arrows, Chen Wannian was the first to charge down from the hillside.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Countless Imperial Guard soldiers charged out, shouting slogans.

They were excited and full of fighting spirit, the previous sound of bombardments having long shaken their spirits.

Immortal Treasures!

Your Majesty, with the protection of Immortals, this battle must be victorious!

After charging into the enemy group, the already terrified Pseudo-Yan Dragon Cavalry dared not engage further, and after slight resistance, scattered in desperation, while Chen Wannian and the others relentlessly pursued them.

"Spare those who surrender!"

"Spare those who surrender!"

"Spare those who surrender!"
